Learn about Paladins in World of Warcraft: Midnight, a hybrid class excelling in tanking and DPS, with unique armor and holy magic abilities.

Paladins in World of Warcraft: Midnight function as a hybrid class, offering capabilities in tanking, damage dealing (DPS), and healing. However, the tanking and DPS specializations (specs) are noted as the most significant. The class utilizes holy magic in its attacks, which functions as added damage rather than being a spellcasting ability. Paladins are primarily a melee DPS class with a limited number of ranged attacks, one of which cannot be used in PvP (Player versus Player combat).

A notable advantage for Paladins, particularly in end-game content, is their ability to wear any type of armor. This means if no other class requires a piece of healer-specific armor, a Paladin can claim it.

Retribution Paladins are highlighted as a potentially powerful specialization, often requiring multiple players to defeat. They are capable of high DPS, wear plate armor, inflict damage when attacked, possess high AoE (Area of Effect) damage, and have abilities to become fully immune to damage or heal themselves when near death. It is noted that their ability to both heal and become immune simultaneously has been nerfed, now allowing only one of these effects at a time.

Beyond their PvP strength and ease of DPS, Paladins are also considered excellent tanks. While Paladin healers might be harder to excel with compared to other healers, the option to dual-spec allows for flexibility.
